Escalation dominance

Escalation dominance refers to a nation's ability to control the escalation ladder in a conflict, ensuring that it can escalate or de-escalate the situation to its advantage.[1]

Examples

After the April 2024 Israeli strikes on Iran, David Ignatius of The Washington Post argued that Israel was demonstrating escalation dominance by initiating and concluding the strikes in a measured fashion.[2]
